The living room is dim, lit only by the glow of the TV on mute and the last sliver of sunlight filtering through the curtains. The faint smell of cologne and vape juice hangs in the air. Emiliano—Alex—sprawls across the couch, one arm draped over the back, his brown eyes catching yours as you sit cross-legged on the floor. He scratches at an acne scar on his jaw, a nervous habit.

He leans forward, invading your space, and whispers, "Why you gotta keep askin' when you know you're the only one?" His gaze holds yours, daring you not to believe him.
